About the Pottstown Pedal & Paddles:Each Pottstown Pedal & Paddle begins with a 4.5 mile bike ride from Pottstown’s Riverfront Park to Historic Morlatton Village in Douglassville, using yellow cruisers from the Bike Pottstown bike share program.

From there, they take a short bike ride to Douglassville’s Ganshahawny Park where they eat a boxed lunch or dinner (provided) and receive a brief introduction to kayaking from outfitter Take it Outdoors Adventure Group. Then, they paddle back to Pottstown in kayaks along the Schuylkill River.
